Robert "Bob" Crowder and Leslie "Buddy" Moser were first cousins. Bob's mother was Louis Henry Moser's sister. I don't know what happened to Bob Crowder, other than he resided in Knoxville at the time. Leslie married and had one son names Scott Moser ( www.flickr.com/photos/21734563@N04/2227013219/in/set-7215... ). My grandmother, who was Leslie younger sister, said that he would always go to the Tennessee River in Knoxville on Sunday to swim. And she felt that was where he contracted the Typhoid Fever that casued his early death, www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/typhoidfever_g.htm#how .

This river is formed at the confluence of the Holston and French Broad Rivers east of Knoxville, hence the name of the KXHR and its tourist train, the Three Rivers Rambler.
This is the Church Street United Methodist Church and the Sunsphere in Knoxville, Tennessee. I took this five-exposure HDR a half mile away from the Sunsphere. The church is three blocks away from the Sunsphere. If you look closely, you can see office chairs and other things in the Sunsphere.
